Who may buy, hold, transfer, and redeem
Each answer rests on the issuer’s own words, quoted from the document named under it. Ketju re-reads each document and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row says so.
- What the holder owns
An unsecured debt claim on Figure Certificate Company, backed only by its assets.
“Figure Certificates are interest-bearing debt securities. When you buy a Certificate, you are buying an obligation of FCC, which are unsecured and solely backed by its assets”

- Who may hold it
Anyone who passes KYC by Figure Payments and whose wallet FCC clears; the prospectus sets no accreditation test.
“Each potential investor must pass AML/KYC review by the AML/KYC Service Provider before being approved by FCC to open an FCC account and before the potential investor being approved to receive any Figure Certificates.”
SEC EDGAR: Figure Certificate Company prospectus, Rule 497 (April 24, 2026) · Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer (p. 22) · words found 2026-09-23
- First purchase minimum

- Who it may be transferred to
Peer to peer at any hour and at face, but only between wallets that have passed KYC and that FCC has cleared.
“Only those wallets that are established on an approved blockchain and that successfully complete the AML/KYC process through the AML/KYC Service Provider and are approved by FCC are approved to transfer Figure Transferable Certificates to other wallets”

Surrender to FCC at any time; FCC processes it within 24 hours, and cash takes up to 5 days by wire or ACH.

- Who keeps the official record
The transfer agent’s records, kept partly on chain and partly off, are the official record and override the chain.
“The Transfer Agent’s records constitute the official Certificate holder records of FCC and govern the record ownership of Figure Certificates in all circumstances.”
SEC EDGAR: Figure Certificate Company prospectus, Rule 497 (April 24, 2026) · Information About Correcting Erroneous Transactions on a Blockchain Network (p. 15) · words found 2026-09-23
- What the issuer says it can freeze or take back
FCC and the transfer agent can block wallets and correct or reverse transfers on chain.
“FCC is able to issue new Certificates, and FCC and the Transfer Agent are able to block blockchain wallets if a transaction is made in error or if a private key has been lost or stolen, or if Certificates are transferred erroneously or impermissibly.”

The transfer agent’s SEC record
A transfer agent registers with the SEC on Form TA-1 and reports each year on Form TA-2: how many securityholder accounts it keeps and for how many issues it keeps the master securityholder file, the list that says who owns each share.
| Agent | SEC file | TA-2 period | Accounts | Issues with master file | Work it hires out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Figure Equity Solutions, Inc. | 084-06830 | 2025-12-31 | 1,856 | 1 | None |
Who can change the record
Powers read from the deployed contracts and their verified source: the token and every contract it consults on transfer. A power recorded here is the issuer’s ability, not evidence it has been used.
| Chain | Freeze a holder | Pause | Claw back | Gate holders | Change the code | Keys held by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | A single key can freeze a holder and claw back tokens. |
Who holds the keys
Every current holder of each power, read from the chain on 2026-09-23. A single key is one private key: whoever holds it acts alone. A multisig needs the stated number of signers. A timelock makes every action wait, so holders can see it coming.
| Chain | Key | What it can do | Held by | Address |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar | Issuer account | mint new tokens, freeze a holder, claw back tokens, decide who may hold | a single key | GAC7MO…AVH3 |

- Ketju’s control reader gains Provenance marker support; the Provenance row is then read and added (on 2026-09-23 the marker admin was group 722 at a 51% threshold, and five single keys held mint, burn, and forced-transfer rights)
- The uylds.fcc marker’s access grants, required attribute, or forced-transfer setting change on Provenance
- The Stellar issuer adds signers, changes thresholds, or locks its authorization flags
- FCC files a new prospectus, post-effective amendment, or supplement that changes who may hold, the minimum, the surrender terms, or the approved chains
- A chain other than Provenance or Stellar goes live for YLDS; its contract is then read with the reader
- Figure Equity Solutions files a TA-W or FCC names a different transfer agent
- FCC publishes a US state list or bars a class of US or non-US holders
- Figure corrects its statement that one YLDS is one certificate at $0.01, or on-chain supply stops matching the reserve at $1 per displayed unit
- YLDS lists for trading on a registered ATS
What the monitor reads daily
Every control function in the table above and the contracts the token consults on transfer; the token’s on-chain supply against yesterday’s; and its market quote against its one-dollar value. Every document quoted above is re-read too, and a quote that leaves its document reopens the file. EDGAR is read for the transfer agent’s registration; a new filing reopens the file. A change opens a review item in the governance queue and reopens the file before any client action.
